Educational Objectives
The PhD program is divided into 7 curricula focusing on the study of physiological and pathological aspects of the nervous system. The common goal across the curricula is to provide PhD candidates with the theoretical and experimental tools to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying the functioning of motor and sensory systems, as well as their alterations in neurological, degenerative, psychiatric, oncological, and neurodevelopmental disorders.
PhD students undergo a three-year training program that includes initially supervised and later independent research activities, along with decreasing classroom instruction enriched by weekly seminars known as Neurowebinars.
These are the specific objectives for PhD students in the different curricula:
Exam – Oral Interview
Assessment – Evaluation of Qualifications
